Egrets in field

I don't remember egrets feeding in the fields before, maybe they got the idea from the heron.
While some flew off, these three stayed the whole time I was walking around, so there must have been good hunting.
I love this winter scene with the different colored grasses, all dun and dry, the small blue oak with all the leaves gone.
